Umm...EA began backing the PS3 back when the PS3 wasn't exactly doing so well sales wise (though it was doing better than some people would've have you believe).
Good? How is that good?
Is that the ONLY reason you would agree with crap like this? To spite one particular company you don't like? How about for the rest of the people you would screw over?
That's part of the REASON why we get shitted on by companies like this!
The problem with the titles you listed is that they were all titles that had timed exclusivity that ran out. MS was able to keep that exclusivity for a certain time (until the potential system sales from said titles ran out), and then they tossed it to the side and focused on the next run of timed exclusivity for another title.
With the things the PS3 lost, they never even got as much as TIMED exclusivity. The 360 version (sans FF13 Japan) was always released at the same day,...
Wow...the way some of the other side is jumping all OVER this as a weapon to say that "oh, these two or three PS3 fanboys are acting like retards, so they ALL do". They will just do it over and over and over again because they think that it makes THEM look better (it doesn't).
Seriously, it's not right that they send him death threats, but it's equally bad to say that everyone in a group subscribes to the same principals as the black sheep do. That's...
"What people may fail to realise [sic] is that Other M is a PREQUEL to the Prime series, and it is entirely possible that Samus has learned to conquer her fears and demons by that time."
Umm...the Prime series is set between the first Metroid game and Metroid 2
This game is set after Super Metroid.
A simple look up through Google tells us this...several times.
I'm more concerned about this article containing spoilers about the game's plot than if the scene is viewed controversial. Some people (like me, damn Gamefly) have yet to play it and thus, could view this as a major spoiler.
Now I'm VERY curious as to what happens, but I'm going to avoid reading this article as I don't want to be spoiled.
PTSD is a very real issue, too, that affects so many soldiers, even those you'd never think it aff...
So GTA4, FF13, DMC4, Tekken 6, and the rest were okay for Sony to lose, yet ME2 was completely off limits? It does seem like that. Why is Sony required to lose every third party exclusive they ever had, yet MS isn't supposed to have full exclusivity on EVERY 3rd party exclusive THEY have?
And you just want Versus to go multi so you can use it for political points and to see things like THIS happen. I doubt you have any intentions of, you know, actually PLAYING the damn ga...
So just about EVERYONE condemns the death threats, yet YOU try to use it to score political points by equating EVERYONE to a select few.
NICE! /s
You're the ONLY one that likes this announcement and/or thinks that anything good will come from this. Gotta wonder what you see that's so good or will be beneficial for any party involved in this, because neither me or anyone else commenting (even some 360 fanboys here are not exactly seeing how this will help either MS or SE) can see anything good that could come from this.
Not that I could care less if the game is released on the 360 in Japan at this point or not. ...
So, you're saying any game would NOT benefit from having to only worry about one platform without having to worry about if something you want to do for the game will work on both systems?
And, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't people complain that a PS3 port of ME2 got announced? Why are those same people hoping for a multiplatform announcement for THIS game?
So wanting PS2 BC to return to the PS3 is akin to admitting you're a hacker?
Would LOVE to hear how THAT logic works!
"First off, this is not out of any disrespect to your son.
However, with that being said, I think you have the whole complexion of the idea of what this game is about completely backwards. This is set in a particular time frame, during a particular event, and as such, should reflect how things were and are. This is what gamers have known to be able to receive for ages. Also, there are ALWAYS two side to every war or confrontation.
Which brings me to my m...
"As much as I like the Prime games, I genuinely hope this does not happen. Corruption just felt like something Retro only made because they were obligated to -- not because they wanted to. "
Prime 3 was the best one in the series. I don't think it was one that they "felt like they had to" make, or else it would have shown.
In Final Fantasy 11, there were two races that only had one gender. The Mithra were all female, and Galka were only male.
However, there were stat reasons why males would choose Mithra (they had the best starting stats in the game, and they had a lot of ways to increase them even more as they leveled up).
Thing is, in WoW, it's only cosmetic differences. If there were stat differences (like, maybe females had better Spirit or Agility or something that ma...
Wait...so Sony is FORCING us to pay for PS Plus?
And increasing Live's price ISN'T "desperation"?
I would LOVE to know your logic!
To tell you the truth, I think Sony could benefit from this, like what they could have done with Geohots. Just make sure no one is using this for pirating games or getting an unfair advantage on multiplayer games, then say "we want to support open ended gaming and mods" (a la Valve). Then release kits so skilled people can create new maps for games like Killzone and Resistance, etc.
I think they shouldn't exactly try to kill this, but rather try to take advantag...
If anyone wants to find out anything about this expansion, I implore you to look up The Cynical Brit.com and TotalBiscuit's YouTube videos of the beta. All of the starting areas are going to be redone, a lot of the questing is supposed to be better and more exciting for the early levels (Blizzard wants to fix the thing about new players leaving after the trial), and there is a lot of news that will affect new players regardless of if they get Cata right away or not.
That...
It can also be used to get homebrew (something that Sony seems committed to killing on their consoles, for some weird, odd reason) working (such as homemade games and emulators for past systems) on the PS3. Imagine, for instance, getting ZSNES or a Genesis emulator on work on your PS3.
So many are only thinking about playing pirated games on the system with this, which is only half the story (the "illegal" part). Apparently, that's the only part that's getti...
Because they want hits to their site. They don't want the truth. They want what will bait the flames. This is the hot debate right now, and everyone is going to fuel the fires in order to get page clicks and thus ad revenue. They're going to try to keep this going as much as possible, using whatever form of hysteria they can to milk the possibilities of becoming famous for all its worth. Remember, too, that there IS a certain system that is NOT getting this game for a reason that some...
Maybe because PS3 gamers see it as a good feature that if they don't have it won't cause them to hate everything about it, while the 360 fanboys taunt them by claiming X-Game chat on the 360 is the second coming of Christ that will absolutely KILL PSN if it's not in there.
In other words, it'd be a nice feature to have, but it's not like they're demanding refunds of their PSN+ subscriptions because of its absence.
